On Saturday night, Argentina?s Lucas Matthysse will set foot inside of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for his 36th professional boxing match.
Having clamored for a fight with WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia for quite some time, Matthysse (32-2, 30 KO?s) instead sets his sights on the capable Mike Dallas Jr. (19-2-1, 8 KO?s) in a Showtime-televised attraction while holding on to the hope that bigger fights still await him.
Following his hotly-contested split-decision loss to Devon Alexander in June of 2011, a fight many had him winning, the 30-year old Matthysse has put together a four fight winning-streak, looking especially effective in his two most recent stoppages over Humberto Soto and Ajose Olusegun.
Speaking to members of the press inside of the Long Life Fit Gym ahead of the Dallas clash, Matthysse seems pleased with his progression as a fighter.
?I feel really good,? he claimed. ?I?m improving every day. I?m stronger. I?m getting better. I feel very good with what I?m doing right now.?
